A Stanton man and a Midland woman were arrested Monday after police officers found methamphetamine and pipes scattered throughout the woman’s vehicle, according to court documents.

Joe Waylon Bush, 24, was being held Monday on a $125,000 bond for a first-degree felony charge of manufacturing or delivering a controlled substance between 4 and 200 grams, a third-degree felony charge of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, a class C misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Karenan Elizabeth Bradley, 23, was charged with the first-degree felony charge, as well as the possession of drug paraphernalia charge. Her bond was set at $75,000.

A Midland police officer was on patrol Monday near the 4300 block of West Wall Street when he performed a check vehicle call on some cars in the parking lot of the Grand Texan Hotel.

The officer made contact with Bush, who he then saw reach his hand into one side of a vehicle. The officer then performed a pat down on Bush, during which Bush appeared to have reached into his pocket then placed that hand over his mouth.

The officer said he thought Bush was trying to ingest narcotics, but no drugs were found inside of his mouth.

The officer also made contact with Bradley at the scene.

During the investigation, Bush discarded a glass meth pipe through one of his pant legs, but the officer retrieved it.

Other police officers responded to assist in the investigation. They searched Bradley’s vehicle and found several more meth pipes throughout the vehicle, as well as crystal meth.

One officer noticed that a bag of drugs had been wedged into the front right headlight of one of the police officer’s vehicles, with Bush being in the vicinity of that vehicle, according to the affidavit.

Both suspects were then arrested and taken to jail. The officers weighed the meth, which came in at 7 grams.

If convicted, Bush faces five to 99 years in prison for the first-degree felony charge and up to 10 years for the third-degree felony charge. Bradley faces five to 99 years in prison.
